Inside Overwhelming Smile's Guild Residence in White River City …
"What did you say?!" Feng Xuanyang abruptly slammed his hand on the table, bellowing, "Those people are actually raising the price! Do they take us for fools?!"
"Young Master Feng, please calm down." The slightly chubby middle-aged man tried to calm him down. "They did not raise the price for no reason. They have the capital to do so."
"Capital? Overwhelming Smile has plenty of Advanced Forging Apprentices. We don't lack the two of them!" Feng Xuanyang frowned, a hint of killing intent radiating from his body.
Although the family he belonged to was large, he was not the only one competing for the family's successor. He had joined Underworld precisely for the sake of becoming the family's successor. Through Underworld's internal information, he had learned of God's Domain's uniqueness. Hence, he had frantically joined God's Domain. As long as he could make a name for himself in God's Domain, he would definitely become the family's successor.
The reason he had spent so much money to poach these people was to attack Candlelight. Now that he was in an all-out war with the Ling YI Society, he was spending a significant amount of money every day. Currently, he was only spending his own money to deal with Candlelight. Currently, he only had several hundred million Credits on hand. Naturally, he could not afford to spend them recklessly.
Although Advanced Forging Apprentices were rare, he could recruit a dozen or so from the Forging Association if he had the money. It would be much better than poaching these people. Not only did he have to pay a high salary, but he also had to pay an astronomical compensation fee. In the end, he only managed to poach a piece of trash with zero Lifestyle Skills.
"Young Master Feng, the two people I mentioned are somewhat special."
"Special? Just because they are special, they dare to triple the agreed price? Do they really think they are forgers?"
"Young Master Feng, although they are not forgers, they have just learned a rare forging design. They can produce Light Stones. Light Stones can allow players to grind and level up at night. They will no longer be subject to time restrictions. Moreover, they are cheap to produce. It is a profitable investment. Meanwhile, among Candlelight's Advanced Forging Apprentices, there are only three of them. Only three people can learn it, so they will naturally raise the price. "
"Light Stones? How could there be such a good thing? Did you ask me how I got it? "
After hearing about the Light Stones, Feng Xuanyang immediately realized how valuable the Light Stones were. If he could get his hands on the Forging Design, he wouldn't need to spend money to poach Candlelight's members. He could use the Light Stones to defeat the Candlelight Trading Firm. Take over the entire market of the Starmoon Kingdom.
"This is Candlelight's secret. Naturally, I won't tell these people about it. However, I've already sent people to investigate the Light Stone. However, it seems that Candlelight's Light Stone Forging Design is very limited. Otherwise, it wouldn't have only allowed three Advanced Forging Apprentices to learn it."
"Moreover, I've also heard that Candlelight's three Forgers aren't crafting Light Stones. They're only crafting Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. It's very likely that Candlelight is too busy, so they sent their Advanced Forging Apprentices to craft Light Stones. In other words, it's very likely that Candlelight has only three Light Stone Forging Designs. If we can poach two of them, it'll deal a huge blow to Candlelight. "
"You're right. If Candlelight can produce a large number of Light Stones, it'll be very difficult to deal with Candlelight. At that time, dealing with the Candlelight Trading Firm would become even more troublesome. However, Man proposes, God disposes. That damned woman, Melancholic Smile, had just toyed with this young master. Now, he would let her know the meaning of pain. No matter what, he must poach those two people. It would be best if he could poach the other person as well. Feng Xuanyang could not help but laugh when he recalled Melancholic Smile's arrogant attitude.
"Young Master Feng, don't worry. We've already secured those two. Only, the other person is very stubborn. I'm afraid that his price will be much higher than those two. Including Candlelight's new contract, the cost might exceed 50 million Credits, "the middle-aged man cautiously said. After all, this was not a small sum. Just poaching three people would cost 50 million Credits. The majority of this 50 million Credits would be the compensation. As the Light Stone Forging Design was estimated to be worth nearly 100 Gold, the compensation for poaching the three people would be twenty times that, which would be 6,000 Gold. Naturally, this compensation was not a small sum.
"Go ahead. If we can poach all three of Candlelight's members, it'll be worth it." Feng Xuanyang furrowed his brows, gritting his teeth as he spoke. If he could poach the three people and the Light Stone Forging Design for 50 million Credits, he would definitely clap his hands in joy. However, Candlelight was definitely not that foolish. Even an idiot would know how precious a one-of-a-kind item was.
Following which, the middle-aged man left the meeting room to discuss the price.
Meanwhile, inside the Bank, Shifeng had already rented a Private Warehouse.
In God's Domain's Bank, if a player stored an item that was truly precious and did not wish to be seen by others, they could rent a Private Warehouse and own a private room. Without the owner's permission, nobody would be able to pry into the Private Warehouse's activities. However, the rental price was not cheap. It was not as cheap as a public warehouse.
Renting a Small Private Warehouse that could store 30,000 slots of items cost 30 Silver Coins per day. Normally, the minimum rental for a month would be 9 Gold Coins. Only when renting for three months would there be a discount. However, even so, it still cost 25 Gold.
A Medium Warehouse that could store 100,000 slots of items cost 1 Gold per day, 30 Gold per month, and 85 Gold per month for three months.
A Large Warehouse that could store 500,000 slots of items cost 4 Gold per day, 120 Gold per month, and 350 Gold per month for three months.
Normally, ordinary players would not rent a Private Warehouse. However, once players reached a higher level, it would be easier for them to earn Coins. Hence, many businessmen would rent a Private Warehouse.
At this moment, without hesitation, Shifeng rented two Large Warehouses. Moreover, both were for three months at a time. One was for themselves, while the other was for the Guild.
This way, Shiuse Qiangwei would not have to worry about other Guilds spying on them when they withdrew or stored valuable items. After all, such situations were not uncommon in God's Domain. Many Guilds did not rent a Private Warehouse, resulting in other Guilds discovering some of their secrets.
As a precaution, even Shifeng had to rent a Private Warehouse.
After Shi Feng entered the Private Warehouse, he was greeted by the sight of rows upon rows of neatly arranged cabinets.
Immediately, Shifeng transferred all the items stored in the public warehouse to the Private Warehouse. The Private Warehouse was very user-friendly. Immediately, all the items were intelligently categorized, saving players the trouble of sorting them out.
Shifeng then opened one of the cabinets. Inside the cabinet was a dark-blue crystal ball. This crystal ball was none other than the one the Shifeng had obtained from the Eternal Temple. However, as this dark-blue crystal ball was too powerful, even with Shifeng's high Resistance, players who touched it would lose 1,000 HP every second. Ordinary players would most likely die upon touching it.
"Touch it and I'll die?" When Shifeng thought about the dark-blue crystal ball, he suddenly realized something. Wasn't the Shenjing he had stolen from the Orc King's hands similar to this?
Only, Shenjing had not been sealed back then. As a result, a Tier 4 Sky Knight had died upon touching it.
"I wonder if it'll work?" Shifeng nervously took out the Shenjing and carefully placed it into the cabinet. He wanted to see how the two crystal balls would react when placed together.
The instant Shifeng placed the two crystal balls into the cabinet, the two crystal balls suddenly released a blinding light that illuminated the entire Private Warehouse. The powerful aura made Shifeng's body feel much heavier.
"This is Divine Might!" Shifeng could not help his shock.
Suddenly, the sound of a system notification entered Shifeng's ears.
